On removing let and let mut
I'd be very worried about accidental shadowing.
x = 4 if (cond) { x = 8 log("x is now: ", x) } process(x)
Looks right, but it's wrong.

Fortunately, the Vale compiler doesn't allow shadowing. It also says "Did you forget the set keyword?" in case they meant to modify x.

I'm surprised: in Rust they allow variable shadowing because otherwise with the 'immutable by default' design they thought that you'd have to create too many names.
Isn't it an issue for Vale?
